#8 Ohio State vs #9 TCU, Thursday March 19, 1215pm ET, CBS

Right here is an example of a very good play to take advantage of TCU's aggressive ball screen blitz, really good play design to attack TCU's defense. TCU forces the PG to pass the ball but obviously it's hard to hit the roll man when 2 guys are in your face, so here they get Tilly involved to make the assist:

I'll even agree that the meltdown some are having over the last play with 4 seconds left to go the whole court is stupid. Was it ideal? Probably not, but in those situations it's very hard to actually pull it off, it usually takes a combo of a play falling into place perfectly and some luck.

Whatever you say all mighty all-knowing one. Have you emailed Ross laying out that lifetime contract yet? I hear he's obsessively sitting at his computer clicking refresh waiting for it
I thought you were going to email him to tell him how much more about basketball you know compared to Diebler…what are you waiting for…

Btw I’m at a boring high school baseball game…I work on computers but rarely use them otherwise lol

Edmunds had FOUR FOULS with 10 minutes left and not once did they attack him to get him out of the game. Then of course he hits the easy game winner. Another thing 100% on the coaching
There has been a lot of times, in the last decade probably, where we just didn't demonstrate a high basketball IQ and it hurt us. It happens. In the heat of the moment you always hope your training and practice will take over and you handle the challenges. For whatever reasons we haven't. Got to definitely get that fixed.

Regardless of that, there's a lot to be positive about in my opinion if we keep the team together. Glimpses of what Devin, Amare and Juni can be were quite tantalizing. Diebs can actually coach in my opinion and it seems like he's finally finding his style and approach and guys were responding. Now we have to take next steps.
